An ultrasonic nebulizer for producing high-volume sub-micron droplets is
disclosed. The ultrasonic nebulizer utilizes a 3 or 5 MHz frequency as an
oscillation frequency for producing sub-micron droplets. The nebulizer
can also use at least one piezoelectric ceramic oscillator for increasing
the volume of the droplets. The ultrasonic nebulizer comprises an ac/dc
converter, an oscillator circuit, an amplifying device, a nebulization
chamber, and at least one piezoelectric ceramic oscillator. The ac/dc
converter rectifies an ac current to a dc current. The oscillator circuit
produces an oscillation signal with a frequency larger than or equal to 3
MHz. The amplifying device amplifies the oscillation signal. The
nebulization chamber has a lower face for holding a liquid to be
nebulized. At least one piezoelectric ceramic oscillator is formed on the
lower face of the nebulization chamber and connected to the amplified
signal providing an ultrasonic output to cause nebulization for producing
high-volume sub-micron droplets.
